{"id":"CVE-2026-44252","summary":"Wazuh Manager dapi RBAC Bypass Allows Privilege Escalation","details":"Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. From 4.0.0 until 4.14.5, Wazuh Manager allows a low-privilege read-only API user with manager:read permission to retrieve the cluster key from the element in ossec.conf through GET /manager/configuration?raw=true. An attacker with network access to TCP port 1516 can use the disclosed Fernet key to impersonate a cluster worker and submit distributed API requests containing attacker-controlled rbac_permissions with rbac_mode set to black. Because the master trusts the worker-supplied authorization context, the attacker can create users, assign administrator roles, access credentials and API tokens, modify configuration, and execute actions across agents. This issue is fixed in version 4.14.5.","aliases":["GHSA-34fx-c2xw-xcpg"],"modified":"2026-09-20T11:45:47.295117877Z","published":"2026-08-19T16:04:00.758Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-863"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/44xxx/CVE-2026-44252.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/releases/tag/v4.14.5"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/releases/tag/v5.0.0-beta3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/44xxx/CVE-2026-44252.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/security/advisories/GHSA-34fx-c2xw-xcpg"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-44252"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/commit/b3459f5663702aea14e91330a7a6912081fed2eb"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/pull/35307"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh","events":[{"introduced":"8c2c62a6e9dcbcf2c792f7924e8cfdb26842820b"},{"fixed":"460511d384aadc1d539caa6c4aa6a4234d68c9ba"},{"fixed":"b3459f5663702aea14e91330a7a6912081fed2eb"},{"fixed":"da844a6fdafd7388d11114841482596d1efdf5b3"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:wazuh:wazuh:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"4.0.0"},{"fixed":"4.14.5"}],"source":["CPE_RANGE","REFERENCES"]}}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-44252.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
